In Figure 1 such a material is shown. A represents the purl or loop, and B the pillar. loop will necessarily project a slight distance on the other side of the pillar, as isshown'at a, Fig. 1; but it is such a slight distance as not to interfere with the carrying out of my method, and the fabric is still essentially one in uhich the loop projects from one side of the'pillar only.
